#1 Agency: Mexican Army Covered Up Kid's Deaths
MEXICO CITY - Mexican soldiers shot two children in April in their family's vehicle, and apparently altered the crime scene to try to blame the deaths on drug cartel gunmen, Mexico's National Human Rights Commission said Wednesday.

The conclusions of the governmental commission represent one of the strongest condemnations to date of the Mexican army.

#2 Mexican Invaders Fired Upon, 1 wounded This happened west of Rio Rico, AZ, about 12 miles due north of the border, last Friday. SANTA CRUZ COUNTY - Investigators say two people with high-powered rifles and dressed in camouflage opened fire on a group of illegal border crossers. The suspects are still at large. The local sheriff says the suspects were probably after drugs. But he fears the shooters might have been United States citizens simply hunting illegal border crossers. That's really a big concern for us," he says.
One of many big concerns

#3 Arizona Officials: Pinal County sheriff's deputy shootout not a hoax
Nearly seven weeks after a Pinal County sheriff's deputy was wounded in a dramatic shootout with suspected drug smugglers in the desert south of Maricopa, questions and suspicions still linger. Some media and outside law-enforcement agents have suggested that the April 30 shooting - exactly one week after Gov. Jan Brewer signed Senate Bill 1070 - may have been a hoax timed perfectly in the debate over illegal immigration and cartel bloodshed. Pinal County officials, though, say they have no doubt the incident occurred just as Deputy Louie Puroll described. On Wednesday, sheriff's officials released copies of their investigative report to squelch ongoing suggestions of fabrication.

#4 It's 1913 all over again. Memo to Meh-hee-co: Finish your revolution this time and stop using the US as your safety valve. Instead of coming to Estadio Unidos, the pissed off, dispossessed and angry need to do what everyone else has done and toss off their oppressors.

Oh, wait... Meh-hee-co has no private gun ownership, does it?

Ahhhh, lo siento! Y el mundo sigue andando!

#5 Actually, under Article 10 of the Mexican Constitution does permit private gun ownership inside ones home, subject to federal law, which is very restrictive.

Mexican gun laws are what US gun laws would look like were the left to have their way.

But the right to bear arms does exist in Mexico.
